Help:Icons and templates

This page describes shorthand for commonly used icons and symbols you may wish to include in your edits. All of these symbols can be used inline with text.

Mana symbols

A single mana icon (or colorless mana) is produced by double-curly braces around a letter:

{{U}}

{{W}}, {{U}}, {{B}}, {{R}}, {{G}}, {{C}}

, , , , ,

When you want to show multiple color icons together, you can alternatively use the {{Color Icons}} template:

{{Color Icons|URG}}

Resources

The {{Runes}}, {{Crystals}}, {{Jewels}}, and {{Orbs}} templates produce the corresponding icon:

{{Runes}}, {{Crystals}}, {{Jewels}}, {{Orbs}}

, , ,

In each case, a number can optionally be passed to the template, to indicate the amount of resources:

{{Crystals|20}}

20

Sometimes you want to show amounts of runes, crystals, and jewels together. You can use the {{RCJ}} template for this:

{{RCJ|2,000|120|150}}

2,000  · 120  · 150

{{RCJ|100||20}}

100  · 20

Expansion sets

The symbol for an expansion set can be produced passing by the three-letter set abbreviation to the {{SetSymbol}} template:

{{SetSymbol|ORI}} {{SetSymbol|XLN}} {{SetSymbol|ZVE}}

Card type

Card type icons can be produced using the {{Creatures}}, {{Spells}}, and {{Supports}} templates:

{{Creatures}}, {{Spells}}, {{Supports}}

, ,

Like the resource templates, the card type templates accept a number which is the amount of cards of that type:

{{Spells|8}}

8

Card rarity

A symbol for any rarity can be produced using the {{Rarity}} templates. Pass it a one-letter (C, U, R, M) or two-letter (MP) abbreviation to tell it which rarity you want:

{{Rarity|C}} {{Rarity|R}} {{Rarity|MP}}

You can also get a line-up of all the rarity symbols, with one specified rarity highlighted, using the {{Rarity icon lineup}} template:

{{Rarity icon lineup|M}}

||

Changing the size

Most of these icons can be rendered at a size of your choosing. All templates above except the Resources templates and {{Rarity icon lineup}} can be passed an additional parameter, which is the size (height) of the icon:

{{G|50}} {{SetSymbol|RNA|36}} {{Creatures||10}} {{Rarity|U|24}}
